This document discusses the transition to a digital economy and the opportunities and challenges that come with it. Key points include:
- The rise of mobile devices, e-commerce, and digital customer experiences are shifting economic focus from products to personalized journeys.
- In the digital economy, cooperation and sharing value will become more important than competition and consumerism. Individual companies will matter less than business ecosystems.
- The Internet of Things will connect physical goods and services, disrupting industries and requiring products and services to be networked and marketed as integrated bundles.
- Infrastructure like mobile networks, data management, social media, cloud computing, and the IoT will be crucial enabling technologies, especially for improving city services through interconnected
2. 2
► The explosion of mobile devices
► Simplicity is the ultimate
sophistication
► Shift of focus from the product to
customer experience journey
► Expansion of new e-purchase
habits (e-commerce, mobile
commerce, gamification) to new
domains
► Eg. Customer engagement in
energy management and smart
homes
The digital customer experience era
► Consumers will never return back to
3. 3
Extreme productivity bringing
marginal cost to near zero
► “Shareable value” supersedes
“exchange value”
► Cooperation vs. Competition
► Sustainability vs. Consumerism
The rise of the Collaborative Commons
► In the digital economy, social capital is as important
as finance capital
4. 4
The digital world attacks the physical world
► Innovations in the digital domain are passing across the firewall from
the virtual world to physical goods and services…
5. 5
…and are disruptive
► The digital innovation changes the paradigm bringing to new
model of industry transformation
► Individual importance of companies is
disappearing
► Key players are “business economic
system”
► Products and services will need to be,
networked, developed and marketed
as hybrid bundles

The Communication Internet
is going to converge
with a digitized Energy Internet
and a

Transportation Internet
10. The Super IoT platform enabling the convergence of
infrastructures
► A super IoT platform can help meet the challenges of the cities of the future through an
innovative scheme that substitutes the traditional “vertical silos” approach with a pioneering
view based on interoperability among service categories.
► Players from different industries compete and collaborate in each layer to deliver hybrid
bundles of products/services to customers & citizens.

► Consumers’ expectations for a connected
life are expanding beyond the world of
mobile gadgets to include a wide range of
smart home and smart automotive devices
► Wi-Fi connectivity increases purchase
likelihood for smart home devices
► 60 million households and businesses can use
Green Button to access their own energy
usage data from their electric utility
► A growing set of companies are offering
products, services, and apps that use Green
Button data

Emerging market small
cities and rural areas
► From 2007 to 2025, population in the top 600 cities by GDP will grow 60% faster than the world
population as a whole.
► 423 emerging market mega and middleweight cities will generate more than 45% of global GDP
growth, as opposed to 16% of the top 177 developed market cities.
► The urbanization process and the increasing energy demand are concentrating the need for
enhanced energy and mobility infrastructures in the cities, especially in emerging market cities
where there is a big gap between demand of services and their provision.
